The brixton pound was launched last Thursday at Lambeth Town hall. Designed by Rob Adderly we like the jaunty angles, colours & bold typography, I just hope Rob lives in Brixton with the whole idea of the project keeping local money in the Brixton economy. The notes feature local heros, pictured is Olive Morris, Brixton Black Women’s Group Founder. But time will tell if they really catch on. Being Brixtonians ourselves we look forward to getting hold of more of the currency in the coming months. It’s a pity theres no David Bowie, however all those featured on the note thoroughly deserve the recognition. Read more about the Brixton Pound on their blog here.
